Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures

[kandata]

By now everyone may be used to find themselves in bizarre locations, between going into palaces and visiting Nekyia. It might not come as a surprise that it has happened again.

What might come as a surprise, though...is how empty this place is.

All around you there's nothing more than a large, gray, featureless expanse. In the distance there seem to be bars, curving upwards to gather so, so high above you, possibly hundreds of miles above, so high it’s hard to distinguish.

It’s a cage. So unfathomably large. You could escape, were you to get to the edges of the cage, but...it would take forever. No matter how you look at it, you're trapped. The atmosphere is so...hopeless. Devoid of anything even remotely positive.

Not that you want to hang around for long, do you? After all, this is someone's palace. Not a place to stick around at. What to do, though?

It’s all so...empty. Silent. Featureless. A flat expanse of hard gray tiles.

Gather together, everyone. Gather and choose a direction. North, East, West, South. All directions look completely identical, but could it affect your time in this place, somehow? Probably not. But all treks start with the first step. Perhaps, if you get moving, you'll progress?

[What the fuck--

Even as he is now, independent, powerful, a much better man than he was mere days ago, Shalem can understand that three of those people hit and unable to use their Personas are those who healed him. Kirumi is forcing people to fighting on their own, and selfishly at that.

But Shalem knows how to repay debts. Even while in pain from this new spell that he sustains, he places himself between Yoon and Kirumi, even wrapping the end of his tail around Yoon's wrist, and will refuse to budge. He's this kid's personal shield for a bit.

Though because of that, he'll have to cast starting from now. He casts Bufula (16), regardless of how cold he starts to feel thanks to the spell.]
